Teaching Philosophy

My coaching philosophy is simple: identify the real cause, simplify the solution, and give you a clear plan to improve. I work with golfers of all skill levels, from beginners to competitive players, using video analysis, biomechanics, ball-flight data, and personalized drills to help you understand your swing without overcomplicating it. My teaching is built around three key concepts: Homebase → Sequence → Tempo. We’ll focus on the changes that have the biggest impact on your ball striking, consistency, and scoring rather than chasing positions or giving you five swing thoughts at once. (Homebase is your grip, setup, alignment and routine.) With online coaching, you’ll receive clear video feedback, specific priorities, personalized drills, and a practice plan you can actually follow. Whether your goal is to eliminate a slice, compress your irons, gain distance, improve your short game, or simply play more consistent golf, we’ll build a plan around your swing, your body, and your goals.

About the coach

I'm a Certified 2 Star PGA Class Professional specialized in instruction and full-time golf instructor based in Florida. I currently serve as Director of Instruction at Countryside Country Club in Clearwater, coach at SimGym Golf in Sarasota, and operate the Noah Vinyard Golf Academy online, where I connect with and coach golfers through social media and remote instruction.
Originally from Alton, Illinois, just outside of St. Louis, I grew up as a competitive athlete in baseball, bowling and golf. Golf eventually became my primary focus, and I went on to graduate from Arizona State University in 2004 with a degree in Agricultural Business and Professional Golf Management.
After competing extensively as a junior golfer, I continued playing competitively after college, including the Pepsi Tour and numerous mini-tour events through 2006. That competitive background continues to shape the way I coach today—I understand both the technical side of developing a golf swing and the challenge of taking that swing from the practice tee to the golf course under pressure.
In 2006, I transitioned into teaching full-time and have since worked with golfers across every level of the game—from beginners and recreational players to competitive juniors, collegiate golfers and professional players.
Today, my coaching combines more than 20 years of full-time teaching experience with modern video analysis, biomechanics, technology and personalized practice plans. I've trained under several hall of fame instructors (Jim Mclean, Mike Adams, Mike Bender, David Leadbetter, Jim Hardy and Sean Foley). Whether I’m coaching a player in person or remotely, my goal is the same: simplify the game, identify what matters most, and give every golfer a clear path toward better golf.

Frequently asked questions

What is an online golf lesson?

An online golf lesson is a way of learning golf skills and techniques from a coach or instructor through the internet, using video analysis, live coaching, or online courses. On Skillest, you can get private instruction with an elite golf coach without even leaving your home. Just record your golf swing and send it to your coach, along with any goals, questions, or other information that will help your coach create the right plan for you.

What are the benefits of an online lesson using Skillest?

Online golf lessons using Skillest offer many benefits, such as convenience, affordability, flexibility, and access to the largest selection of the most talented golf coaches in one place. Through video recordings, side by side comparisons, and conversations you have with your coach, you will receive comprehensive feedback on what you need to improve and how to improve these areas. When you get a lesson on Skillest, you don’t need to schedule a time or drive to your lesson. You can just record your swing and message your coach whenever you have questions.

How do I receive feedback from my coach?

You will receive feedback from your coach through the Skillest app. Your coach will record their own videos with their analysis as well as additional drills to work on and send them back to you inside the lesson. You can watch your coach’s analysis, which may include video, audio, text, or drawings and see the changes and improvements they suggest for your swing. You can also ask your coach follow-up questions you have, and chat with them through the app. You can also review your feedback and track your progress anytime on the app.

What are the different types of lesson plans I can purchase?

Skillest offers a variety of plans and packages available for purchase. You can purchase a single online lesson, lesson packages, monthly subscriptions, or live Zoom lessons. Many coaches also offer video-based courses in addition to one-on-one coaching. Note: Not every coach will offer each type of lesson plan available.

What are Courses?

Courses are a series of instructional videos created by expert coaches that cover a wide range of sport-specific topics. Whether you're looking to refine your technique, master strategy, boost your fitness, or enhance your mental game, our courses are designed to help you excel in your chosen sport—be it golf, swimming, cricket, basketball, or baseball.
